Rating: 3/4 --
A groaning table of food for thought - almost too much for one movie, though presented with remarkable deftness.
Seattle Times
A convincingly comprehensive portrait of higher education in the United States, the film trains its lens on everything from storied institutions to anonymous community colleges...
A.V. Club
[F]ilmmaker Andrew Rossi continues his roving inquiry into the crises and changes that have rocked America's most respected institutions IVORY TOWER.
Variety
Very informative documentary about the corporatization of the academy, drawing from experts as well as boneheaded libertarians like Peter Thiel who hoists himself on his own petard.

Though the filmmakers take on too much in 90 minutes, they pass the test by convincing us that something needs to be done to end this financial nightmare, which can cost $60,000 per year per student.

Rating: 3/4 --
If anything Ivory Tower is a real slap in the face accompanied by a blunt kick to the butt in trying to get a bang for one's buck in the onslaught of educational emptiness feeding into financial uncertainty.
